Oh, that’s gonna drive me nuts – there should be a question mark after my first sentence above: “Have you ever tried the “brain dump” method?”

Have you ever tried the “brain dump” method. I really don’t think you need to be organized overall to make this method work for you, but it definitely helps when your mind is racing and you’re worried you’ll forget something – or everything!

The goal is just to write down EVERY SINGLE THING that’s on your mind. It doesn’t need to be neat or organized – just scribbled all over every square inch of a piece of paper or on a white board works just as well. But once you have everything written down, you don’t have to worry about forgetting it, and you can focus on organizing it later. You just have to be sure to write down every little thing you can think of to “get it out”, but it gets easier the more you do it!

I just started working with a personal organizer here in town. Honestly, one of the best presents I have ever given myself. Chaos reigns supreme in my life and she is really helping!

I love that picture on the post.

I am also an expert worrier. I’ve been told that most of the things we worry about never happen anyway, so I should save my energy. I think…well, if I worry and it happens, then I’m that much more ahead!

I do the one shoe dance a lot….

Hi, GeekMommy. Love your view on the Mommy world. Say hello to me – a sister insomiac. I have always been a very organized person in my single days and after marriage and mommyhood and the hectic chaos of everyday living, my organization skills are slowly dwindling. Yikes!!! I, too, find myself organizing everything in my head when I should be in dreamland. I start off the day with all good intentions – but life kicks in – multi-tasking is at high speed and I am off and running. Isn’t it fun!

Hahaha, I know what you mean! Late night resolutions are my favorite. You fall asleep feeling wonderfully motivated…

And if you ever find that assistant, let me know if she has any friends who would be willing to help me out!

I’m right with you ladies! I have a brain that won’t stop at bed time, but won’t start during the day! Sorry for you both, but I’m glad I’m not alone!

LOL! Well you can cross one worry off or your list. I definitely read the entire post! And I do exactly the same thing. I lay in bed, not falling asleep for hours, organizing my life/house/brain and then I’m so tired the next day I flop out of bed and go through the motions. Then to bed again to repeat the process. I also have my best ideas at that time that I never write down…
